LIVING LIFE ONE MEMORY AT A TIME

1.Population This is by far the biggest elephant in our society. It is just a matter of self realization that needs to happen in each individual to wisely plan for kids and not over populate the country. 5 rupees can be distributed wisely between 5 people and is even easy to keep track. Now imagine that same 5 rupees that need to be divides to 500 people. At some point the government loses track on how to spend the money and where it is going. Think again readers. If you really want more kids, think of the many orphans who would give anything just for mom's love and dad's embrace. 2.Homelessness You don't really need a looking glass to notice this. Every corner of every 5th street you find people living on the roads. And by living on the road I mean literally living on the roads. They eat on the roads, sleep on the roads, brush their teeth on the road and even take bath on the roads. What is being done by the government to address this, I wonder. 3.India's IT h...

Today I'll tell you about a wonderful kind of friendship I was fortunate enough to witness. In a world where friends are so caught up in life to talk to each other and the best way to keep friends closer is with silence I met Mr S and his friend on a warm Wednesday Evening. You see Mr S is Visually Challenged.I was volunteering to help him out with his study material and he came at the mentioned time to my office gate to collect the audio content. He came with a guide friend and was waiting near the escalator at the office. It was not hard to spot these friends. They were busy chatting and laughing and giggling! What a sight for me to see who was already having a rough day at work dealing with friendships falling apart and memories fading away. It was not too long before I engaged myself in a conversation with S and his friend to know more about their friendship. Turns out, both of them are studying the same course in the same college are classmates. This friend takes S to all t...

I keep seeing and hearing so many things which constantly keep reminding me how important it is that we have a sense of self realization. I admit I am still struggling with a few things like extreme sensitivity and incandescent mood swings. But I'm not like the many who don't even admit they have issues and seek help. When you don't even realize what your negatives are how on earth will you know how to deal with it? Let me tell you a real story from a few days back. I used to visit a small shop every now and then for collecting random groceries. This shop was what you'd call a typical Kirana Store cum Tiffin center. There used to be an Auntie and her cute little kid at the shop at all times. I always loved having small talk with the Auntie and the little girl. Within no time I realized how hardworking that Auntie was. She used to wake up very very early in the morning at around 5 AM, lock her little sleeping kid in the house, Cook tea and breakfast for the customers ...

Every morning as soon as I reach the office,my routine goes something like this. 1. Get off the Bus 2. Get the IN time punched and the bags scanned 3. Take the longest route possible from the main gate to my desk 4. Wish the security folks good morning with a wide wide smile 5. Fresh up with a dash of makeup 6. Drink a glass of water at the cafeteria area 7. Get to work work work This is what I do, every single day. Today was a bit tad different. While I was at point 6 i.e. Drinking Water at the Cafeteria Area, A kind security folk was also there to fill in his water bottle. Me being my usual blabber mouth tried to engage in a conversation asking him if he had his breakfast. He was elated with the conversation I was trying to engage him in. His immediate response was that he had his breakfast and now waiting for a kick start coffee. I asked him at what time he usually logs in to work. He was kind enough to reply that he was working the whole night last night and he does a 24 ...

Has it ever happened to you? You sit with your friends and you are acting pretty normal and all of a sudden you do something really really extremely stupid and you think -what on earth was I thinking? where were all those sensible brain cells which usually stop me from doing stupid and insane things like these? Today I had one such flipsy flopsy moment. I acknowledged the fact that my brain shut down for a minute. I acted like a dumb jack gossiping like Blondie knowing that the person I'm gossiping about was in fact a wonderful person and was precisely 2 feet away from me. It was like as if my brain turned itself off while I was acting like a drunken monkey bitten by a scorpion. Once my brain turned itself on, I felt like I was punched in the stomach by a sumo fighter. I started tracing back to the roots of why the human brain tricks you into doing things you hate and then feeling extremely awful about it. Here the 2 most commendable explanations I was able to come up with fo...

So today I went to this doctor for a checkup and there was a little kid who came and sat next to me in the waiting area. A small little girl she was with a long mickey mouse t shirt and a high pony. Me not being the one happy and content just being all by myself felt it might be good to strike a conversation with the little one. She looked like she might be 5 or 6 years old. How hard can it be? Definitely Pre K or 1 grade. not older. She sat beside me for a few minutes and ran to her mom and got an android cell phone.She started playing some game and I was getting curious. It looked like some dress up game or something. She was pressing buttons and a Barbie girl's looks kept changing. Cartoon Barbie boys kept appearing and she was clicking buttons like 'Date or No Date'. I was getting really curious now to know what the game was. I couldn't keep it in and finally blurted -' Hey kiddo! Whats that Game?' She looked at me from top to bottom, staring precisel...
